'Genderless' Child Ignites Firestorm in Canada

[Blessed]

What does a 5 year old know???? Are you serious? Plenty! Unless they were locked in a dark room and not spoken to for 5 years. What's more crucial is that this is the phase where children are most curious, they want to know EVERYTHING and ask a lot of question and explore their surroundings . De-schooling focuses on the learning methodology rather than what is thought. Reading and writing is incorporated into the theme a child is interested in. I don't know where you got the idea that children who learn under this aproach are not thought to read and write??? As a learning system, it the one most suited for high / low achieving children and for parents who want absolute control over the values and ideas their children are exposed to. A with all learning systems it has it's pros and cons. but it's by far a system where learning is most meaningful and learner most valued.

 

Salaams.

this De-schooling thing applies to only Gaalo laba ama mid ciyaal ah haysta and not to Xalimos and Farax's who mostly raise 12 children or more!.tan kale, even if one wants to de-school his/her kids what on earth a common Somali Xalimo can teach her child? iga aamus aabaha waxaa kusamay,,,,,,,,,,,,huh hadal iyo dhamaan sheeko ina khosaysa maaha.

^Hmmm. Is that what you were exposed to in your 'average / common' Somali home education? Even for schooling faithfuls, the home remains the primary place of education, so I find the idea that parents (Somaalis in paeticular) are incapable of driving their childrens learning disturbing.

 

 

De-schooling is not for the average Joe either, but as a learning system it can be validated by many learning theories and has many advantages and that's all am saying...
